What I think is hilarious is that NOLA Aub poster has griped and moan that he couldnt post his links and now there is a thread, I dont think he has made one post in here

He probably has a job. There will be a wave of more Auburn posters tonight. I think.

I could care less about this stuff. I'll just wait until the NCAA can find something. If they don't I don't really care. I want to beat Bama while they're up not down. So I hope they don't get in trouble.

Your comment inferred that the sticker in question was not in place at the time of the video. You can try to weasle out of it all you want but thats what you implied. In order for you to have any basis for that comment, you would have had to see the area where that sticker resides currently. You didnt.

Baseless comment is still baseless.


The stickers are not on the window.. The boxes that have the jerseys displayed are the 2 window display cases that flank either side if the door. You can clearly see the pillars that form the display case in both the video and the still photo...

That being said, there is no way to tell how old the video is.. It could be stock video shot years ago. I have no idea..

You shouldn't take things so personal when someone points something out.. I didn't say it was a smoking gun or bama was fricked.. In fact I think you are the only person that even gave a shite that I pointed it out. Continue ranting though.. I'm enjoying you having a fricking meltdown over nothing.

Messageboards are one thing, But Jlee, NTY and former player like the one in the Operation Reddog go a little far. Kind of sad to follow around high school and college kids like that.

No meltdown here, just wanted to get that cleared up. I keep seeing comments about how there is a mad scramble related to this and I just dont see it.

Bama has an alleged booster and suit store owner who used athletes (both current and former) to promote his store.
Bama sent him a cease and desist letter in December (one day after OSU news broke allegedly).
Questions are being raised based on photographs the store had on the internet whether NCAA violations occurred.
Trent Richardson is the most prominent current Bama player under suspicion (so to speak).
Bama compliance investigated it back in December and found no issues, thus no report was made to the SEC or NCAA.
The rest is just banter.

Sounds good to me.


That might not QUITE cut it with the NCAA.

Interesting picture here from memorabilia dealer of an autographed Richardson helmet. Under the helmet it a certificate of authenticity with Richardson name printed and then another named signed on it. The dealer is either making it seem as Richardson signed the certificate or either he actually did. The other link shows similar signed paper with a cam autographed helmet if you look at the other memorabilia he has these are the only ones with that particular certificate of authenticity.

Similar helmet from the same dealer with certificate appearing to be Cams signature

Not particularly humorous, IMHO, FWIW, FYI.

Haha, bullshite. You love this stuff and are one of the main people in this thread trying to keep it going, as evidenced by your fine investigative work and analysis in this thread.

The usual smack talk only the other way around as usual.

Auburn fans: Bammer's are going down!!!

Alabama fans: No way Barners!!!

Auburn fans: Yeah huh!! Clay Travis said so!!

Alabama fans: Clay Travis is a frickin poser!!!! RTR!!

Your 1st mistake, I haven't done any inverstigative work. I could care less what Bama is doing because we are probably doing the same thing.

Not really. Most autograph dealers take a picture of an player signing something to prove authenticity...maybe this guy had him sign the Cert. at the same time.

So the argument every one has said it they players did not know the merchandise they were signing was going to be sold. As you said MOST people take a picture if they want proof but instead im guessing they say here sign this certificate so i can display it with my merchandise. Not to mention if the guy had a camera to take a pic to post it online im sure he could take a pic to prove he signed it.

Also

Vice memorabilia was selling signed Richardson and McCarron jerseys that were said to have been signed 9-3-2010 which is the same date Richardson signed the jerseys for tom. They have already admitted Tom was selling merchandise and now those particular items have been pulled for the website. So im guessing after Trent left the clothing store he just happened to run into Mr Vice and sign jerseys for him also.

this is what i don't understand...why do auburn fans continue to try to dig up dirt on alabama? this goes back to the gadsden packet to operation red dog to this stuff with the mens wear store in tuscaloosa.

alabama had NOTHING to do with the info that came out on the cam newton scandel!! the rec does not control the media outlets that broke this story. msu is the only other sec school that should even be in the conversation on that issue. the only auburn dirt digging i have seen on alabama sites has been in response to the hardy boy investigations by readers of auburn sites. and that is as stupid as the original stupid red dog stuff. and, yes, there has been plenty of digs at auburn from ua fans on message boards, but, my god...to take it to the point where you are stalking players, hiring p.i's???

this is why the sec is not as respected as it should be.

why start this shite?? it's not going to end well for any school in the sec...vandy might even not be totally clean, although, they should get a pass for not benefitting...

Ok so suppose you are Julio Jones (or Cam Newton or whoever) and you are at the height of your college career and a sure-fire NFL draft pick. What is to keep you from taking out a loan or racking up some credit card debt to pay for things like suits, jewelry, phones, etc.? You know (or atleast assume) that in a year, you will have an NFL contract to pay off any debts you accrue now.

Quite frankly, I have no idea how prevelant such activity is or if it in any way violates NCAA rules? I'm also not implying that this is the case with Julio or anyone else, but I am curious if anyone knows more about this.

Member for 7 months, and your entire post history is since this came to light, save one. This is like a lurker on the OT showing up to post emails for nudes of someone for you, isn't it?
